Android :: Accessing Environment Variables By The Running Process
Mar 3, 2010I want to know if there is a way to pass environment variables to the running process in Android. If yes, how should one set those environment variables.

View 4 RepliesI would like to use self defined Environment variables in my source code.
I use System.getenv() to do this and the code line looks like this. Log.d("MyTest","== MyEnv " + System.getenv("AP") + " ANDROID_ASSETS:" + System.getenv("ANDROID_ASSETS"));
Before I execute my code I define my AP variable with export: export AP="12345" and the this is my output of set command
ANDROID_ASSETS=/system/app
ANDROID_BOOTLOGO=1
ANDROID_DATA=/data
ANDROID_PROPERTY_WORKSPACE=9,32768
ANDROID_ROOT=/system
AP=12345
Then I execute my code and I get this line from logcat
D/MyTest( 5363): == MyEnv null ANDROID_ASSETS:/system/app
The value for my defined Environment variable is null. Any suggestions on why it didn't work?
I'm building an Android application and would like to maintain a few environment variables that I can tweak depending on whether I'm in development mode or release mode. For example, I need to invoke a web service and the URL will be slightly different in either mode. I'd like to externalize this and other settings so I can change them easily based on my target deployment. Distinguishing development mode and release mode environment settings on Android. Are there any best practices or anything in the SDK to assist with this need?

View 4 Replies View RelatedAccording to the docs in the Android developer's site, processes can be used to reduce overhead by running the code of multiple .apks in the same process. (see application model) What I'm wondering is HOW I can run multiple .apk in the same process.
Since an image from one of the Google I/O video shows that process can run one .apk or just part of one .apk, I'm little confused about processes.
I want to run two different android applications in the single process to access the resources. For that purpose, I had made following two changes in the manifest file of both the application ,
I had override two attributes and
1) android:sharedUserId= "hii.hello" under <manifest> tag 2) android:process = "guide.android" under <application> tag
I had made these changes (asign the same values) in the both the applications but could not get expected results. How to check whether both these applications are running in the same process?
Should I sign both the application with the same certificate?
I am a freshman and my English is poor.In some cases, I terminate the application and the DVM process couldn't be killed when a exception through, why is this? and how the problem is to be tackled?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to get list of all process which are running in the Android system, and kill some of them? I know that there are some applications (task managers), but I would like to write my own, simple application.
I would like to write simple task manager, just list of all process and button which will kill some of them.
Could you just write some Java methods which I can call in order to get list of process, and method for killing them. Or just give me some advices.
I installed an app called Running Process Toggle and didn't like it so I uninstalled it but the process list is still on my screen in the upper right corner. I rebooted and it's still there and won't go away.
View 3 Replies View RelatedJust came from an rooted droid eris. That was a HTC phone and while just getting familiar with the X it seems the process and procedures are a little different/more confusing. My brand new X came with 2.1 update1. Now my only reason/purpose for rooting is really only for custom roms(if even available or stable for the X yet, but not that important atm)/apps requiring SU permissions like wireless tether and setcpu.
Although I doubt I'll need to oc this beast. And tweaking the os to be better/faster/how I want it like removing bloatware. With that being said, like I said I am running 2.1 update1. And I am hearing something about the X getting Froyo 2.2 anyday now? Should I wait for that to hit my phone before I do anything?
I noticed a weird battery drain on my EVO over the last week or so. I've got the System Panel app, and it appears there's an internal process called "suspend" that is running the CPU at 50%-60% while the phone's supposed to be asleep.
I have the un-updated facebook app, and it doesn't have any login information anyway. The problem started occurring around the time I installed Pandora; have there been any reports of problems with that app? Alternatively, does anybody know what might be causing that process to chew CPU cycles?
Sometimes the DDMS in the Eclipse not listing the process.
To do the debug in this condition,
1) Is their any way force the DDMS to list the process?
2) Any command to attach the process from the command line?
At a certain point in my program, when I'm completely done with my service, my activity executes unbindService() and stopService() -- yet the process persists. I can tell that it persists because I run "ps" in "adb -e shell":
CODE:.............
"adb logcat", I can show you the sequence of events:
ACTIVITY: context.unbindService(serviceConnection);
SERVICE: onUnbind();
ACTIVITY: stopService(serviceIntent); & returns true!
SERVICE: onDestroy();
First, my activity calls unbindService(serviceConnection). According to the documentation, unbindService() will "Disconnect from an application service. You will no longer receive calls as the service is restarted, and the service is now allowed to stop at any time." So that is fine, and it is happening.
Appropriately, we see the onUnbind() call happen on the service side. According to the documentation, onUnbind() is called when "all clients have disconnected from a particular interface published by the service." So this confirms the correct service connection is being passed, and that the service is responding accordingly.
Next, my activity calls stopService(serviceIntent), and returns true. According to the documentation, stopService() does the following: "If there is a service matching the given Intent that is already running, then it is stopped and true is returned; else false is returned." Again, this is happening and returning true.
In response, the service's onDestroy() method is called. According to the documentation, onDestroy() is "Called by the system to notify a Service that it is no longer used and is being removed. The service should clean up any resources it holds (threads, registered receivers, etc) at this point. Upon return, there will be no more calls in to this Service object and it is effectively dead."
At this point I expect the process to disappear from the process table. Yet it remains indefinitely. But why?
Also, the process is so persistent that I can bind to it again, and I see that it is the same exact process responding because the PID (process ID) is the same!
So, I decided to give Tridents ROM a try about 10-minutes ago.
I used ROM Manager, backed-up my old ROM, then downloaded Velocity 0.2.
Now, my phone will do nothing, it turns on and shows the red Droid eye, then when it's time to go to the home screen I get pop-up after pop-up saying that "The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
I have no way of getting on my phone at all, what can I do?
I Just installed a new theme (Live Wire) for my Lithium Mod Rom. Don't know if there is a connection, but when I need to update an app, I get the message something like "process android media process stopped unexpectedly" and it will not allow the update. Everything else works well. I have turned it off for awhile, and have done a battery pull.

When I searched for this message it seemed to be related to people using Gmail, but I always get this message when I'm doing other things and not even touching my Gmail account.

I get the following information: "Sorry! The process com.google.process.gaps has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again".
I've searched around the forums (here and SDX forums) and although it seems the few people that had this issue were able to solve it, my case seems a bit different.
It's different because of the people I've read solving the issue, it was a problem with something they changed / removed with gmail / gmail storage or talk / talk storage. And when they cleared the cache or re-installed the problem went away. Also, it seemed that the same people had a problem with downloading from the market...
Neither of the above apply to me, but yet I'm still getting this FC error all the time!
I was helping a friend with their CL14 Moment out of the box...and went from stock 1.5 CL14 to 2.1 DD03 w/Joey recovery to EclairDD10 and v5 root. I then did the streaming media fix, and then the private app (build.prop) fix (all previously done with my phone no problems). I did all of these update right in a row, and after my last re-boot the FC error (process com.google.process.gapps has stoped unexpectedly) started showing up and won't go away.
The only .apk / odex files I removed were the preloaded Sprint apps
Does anybody have any other ideas on how I can get this FC error to stop? I've tried clearing the cache / data for all the mail / talk apps, rebooted, cleared dalvik cache...
Keep getting this message "The process com.google.process.gapps has stooped working unexpectedly. Any thoughts on what this is and how to resolve?
